Hi, I have just found this site and feel compelled to join in...quite frankly I am getting to the point where I don't know which way to turn. Mum's memory problems took a turn for the worse about 2 years ago after the tragic loss of my neice. She was in complete denial of her problem at first but now seems to be more accepting. Having said that, she will not co-operate with myself or my sister and can be very argumentative. Also, she loves to be out and about and invariably ends up in a pub or wine bar. She must lose track of what she is drinking and I often get calls from various establishments asking me to come and collect her. The other thing is, she is still driving and she will not stop. There is more to all of this but it is late. I just wanted to get some advice from people who know and understand the problem. It is amazing how all of her so called friends...and family for that matter have gradually backed off because they can't hack it. I know that she can be exhasperating but this problem seems to be growing and I don't think that any of us can turn our backs.
Thanks for listening.
